Some medicoclimatic characteristics of Kazan

Abstract

The basic meteorologic quantities are analyzed. The data bank is produced: a) for air temperature from 1828 to 1991; b) amounts of clouds; c) wind velocity; d) air humidity; e) amounts of precipitation. Moreover from april 1990 to 1992 there are average daily data on temperature, humidity, velocity and pressure of air. It turned out that the number of myocardial infarctions and air temperature had nagative correlation (r=-0,22; p> 0,99%). When air humidity increases, the number of myocardial infarctions increases. The dependence of the disease on air pressure and wind velocty is less. The study of medicoclimatic state of kazan allows to reveal fluctuations of meteorologic parameters and to estimate the associations which are the basis of statistical prediction of meteorologic factors affecting population health in kazan.
